Category: Best ESO Builds, Best Warden Builds, Healer Builds
This powerful STAMINA Warden Healer is a unique way to heal and buff your allies with the forces of Nature! Whether you want massive healing for both single target and group heals or fantastic buffs and debuff abilities, this build can do it all!
Primary Sets
First, the Perfected Stone-Talker’s Oath set, found in the Rockgrove Trial, is the best utility for healers when it comes to giving resources back to your group members. This set gives 5% of the damage done to enemies back as resources whenever you Heavy Attack that same enemy, so it’s really useful on bosses whether you’re in a dungeon or trial as this extra bonus applies to everyone in your group.
Next, the Powerful Assault set grants Weapon and Spell Damage whenever you cast an Assault ability to you and up to 5 group members and can be refreshed every 15 seconds. It’s quite an easy set to get hold of and is one of the best sets for Healers at the moment because it doesn’t give you a named buff so you can stack this with every other bonus in the game!
Finally, Symphony Of Blades is the recommended monster set for this build. It restores Magicka and Stamina every 1 second for 6 seconds once you heal someone who is below 50% primary resources.

(3 items) Gain Minor Aegis at all times, reducing your damage taken from Dungeon, Trial, and Arena Monsters by 5%.
(4 items) Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
(5 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka, Your fully-charged Heavy Attacks place a soul bomb on your target that charges as the target takes damage. After 10 seconds, the bomb explodes, restoring 5% of the damage received as Stamina and Magicka, up to 2240 Stamina and Magicka, to 12 group members within 16 meters of the explosion. This effect can occur every 10 seconds.

Symphony Of Blades
LVL 50 – CP 160

(1 item) Adds 4% Healing Done
(2 items) When you heal an ally who is under 50% of their primary resource, grant them Meridia’s Favor, which restores 570 Magicka or Stamina every 1 second for 6 seconds. This effect can occur every 18 seconds per target. The resource returned is based off the target’s highest maximum resource.
Alternate Sets
For alternatives, and if you’re not quite ready for trials yet, check out the Phoenix Moth Theurge set which provides some great group buffs such as Minor Force and Minor Courage.
Engine Guardian is also another excellent option for a Stamina Healer though this is a selfish Monster set since it only grants you resources back upon using abilities that cost them. This is more of a sustainability set that will allow you to heal for more and survive a lot more too.

Consumables, Race, Mundus
Race
The best race for this build would be a Dark Elf because of the base Maximum Magicka and Stamina you’re given, as well as an increase in your Weapon and Spell Damage. The other races that will be great for this build would be Khajiit because of their Critical Healing increase and recoveries. Wood Elf is the Stamina equivalent of Breton if you’re struggling to sustain. And High Elf would also work with their resource gain whenever using Class Abilities, and their Weapon and Spell Damage increase.
Mundus
The Thief
Increases the Critical Strike rating by 1333
With 7 Divines armor pieces
Increases the Critical Strike rating by 2167
Food/Drink Buff
Dubious Cameron Throne
Dubious Camoran Throne
Increase Stamina Recovery by 315, Max Stamina by 2856 and Max Health by 3094 for 2 hours.
These effects are scaled based on your level.
A dessert cocktail of jagga, rotmeth, and sweetbread puree. Definitely Green Pact compliant.

Skills Discussion & Rotation
Buffs
The main debuff that you need to utilize would be Major Brittle. Make sure you place down Winter’s Revenge right at the start of the fight or whenever the ability runs out after 12 seconds. Follow this by casting Growing Swarm, which debuffs your enemies with Minor Vulnerability. Make sure to place this on the highest health enemy to get the most out of the ability as this saves you from recasting it as often.
Buffing your team is also very important, so make sure you use Expansive Frost Cloak and Ring of Preservation near your group to increase their survivability. Frost Cloak needs to be recast once every 20 seconds.
Bull Netch will be extremely important to maintain as this increases Weapon and Spell Damage but also gives Stamina recovery. Make sure you keep this up at all times. Green Lotus, which increases your Weapon and Spell Critical but also heals allies with every light and heavy attack you connect with the enemy is another great ability you need to keep up as much as possible.
Finally, make sure to always cast Echoing Vigor every 15 seconds to maintain that important Powerful Assault buff.
Rotation
Backup Bar: Expansive Frost Cloak -> Green Lotus -> Growing Swarm
Main Bar: Bull Netch -> Winter’s Revenge -> Echoing Vigor -> Ring of Preservation
Resource Management
Energy Orb is to be used if someone asks for resources.
Healing and Ultimates
Bursting Vines are to be used if anyone looks like they’ve dropped to below 60% health or to link onto someone who is outside of the rest of the group to redirect them to where they need to go.
Soothing Spores offers a massive amount of healing towards everyone in front of you within a short distance.
Healing Thicket is to be used at end of boss fights to ensure everyone is alive or mid-battles with a lot of damage heading for your group to keep them healed through it.
Aggressive Horn is to be used with controlled fights to ensure that everyone has enough resources, increase the damage, and give everyone a nice 20% Critical Damage buff.
Notes
This build is different from other healer builds because it’s stamina-oriented, but once used correctly, can be extremely unique and rewarding. Stamina Healing is based on positioning and burst healing. Also, because you don’t deal as much healing as your Magicka Counterparts, your job is to increase your group’s resistances and buff and debuff as much as possible with skills and sets. You still heal, so don’t forget that. But your main focus is to enable the most amount of damage possible.
The majority of your abilities require good aim like Combat Prayer and Soothing Spores so make sure to aim appropriately!
